Simultaneous distributed application support of multiple identity management systems is provided through the use of virtual web server instances, which enable one identity management system, on physical servers already running a pre-existing web server instance, which enables a different identity management system. Further, an intelligent rules-based determination is implemented to determine whether to route an access request to either the virtual or pre-existing web server instance. Since the virtual web server instances are generated on the same physical server that executes the pre-existing web service instance, the the existing network flow (i.e., a single URL) and physical infrastructure is leveraged to create a simplified approach to managing the simultaneous use of multiple identity management systems across different distributed applications.

Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are presented for aggregation platform permissions. A hardware computing device is configured to aggregate a user's data from a first plurality of third-party service providers over a data network for the user to access through a second plurality of third-party service providers, the hardware computing device comprising a trusted intermediary between the first plurality of third-party service providers and the second plurality of third-party service providers. A permissions module is configured to monitor which of a second plurality of third-party service providers have access to which portions of data from which of a first plurality of third-party service providers. A graphical user interface is configured to display one or more user interface elements allowing a user to grant and/or revoke access to portions of data from a first plurality of third-party service providers individually to a second plurality of third-party service providers.

A system for detecting and mitigating forged authentication object attacks is provided, comprising an authentication object inspector configured to observe a new authentication object generated by an identity provider, and retrieve the new authentication object; and a hashing engine configured to retrieve the new authentication object from the authentication object inspector, calculate a cryptographic hash for the new authentication object, and store the cryptographic hash for the new authentication object in a data store; wherein subsequent access requests accompanied by authentication objects are validated by comparing hashes for each authentication object to previous generated hashes.

A method and apparatus of a device that authorizes a device for a service is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device intercepts a request for a web page from a web browser executing on the device, wherein the request includes an indication associated with an authorization request for the service and the web page provides the service. In addition, the device presents an authorization user interface on the device. The device further performs a local authorization using a set of user credentials entered via the authorization user interface. The device additionally performs a server authorization with a server. Furthermore, the device redirects the web browser to the requested web page, wherein the web browser is authorized for the service provided by the web page.

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a memory, a camera module, a communications module, and a processor that is configured to: receive, from the camera module, image data associated with a machine-readable optical label, the optical label encoding transaction details of a transfer of data to a recipient account, wherein the transaction details do not indicate an identity of the recipient account; receive a user input indicating authorization to initiate a transfer of data, via a protected resource, from an account associated with the user to the recipient account; and in response to receiving the user input, generate a request for initiating the transfer of data based on the transaction details, the request including an access token for use in authenticating the user on requests to access the protected resource.

A file sharing system and methods therefor share one or more files without requiring the files be sent to or stored on a server. The file sharing system enables files to be shared from a user device allowing users to maintain control of the files by storing and sharing files off the cloud. Sharing and file access is typically effectuated via a server and one or more links provided by the server. File access is limited to selected file access types.

A system and method for providing secure Single-Sign-On (SSO) authentication in a zero-knowledge architecture. A first server component may operate as a first relying party in a first SSO flow. When the user of an application successfully authenticates to a first identity provider, a first part of a secret key may be provided to the application. Additionally, a second server component may operate as a second relying party in a second SSO flow. When the first part of the secret key is received by the application, authentication information may be provided to a second identity provider. Based on a successful authentication, a second part of the secret key may be provided to the application. The first and second parts of the secret key may be combined by the application to generate a final secret key that may be used to decipher encrypted user data.

Authentication translation is disclosed. A request to access a resource is received at an authentication translator, as is an authentication input. The authentication input corresponds to at least one stored record. The stored record is associated at least with the resource. In response to the receiving, a previously stored credential associated with the resource is accessed. The credential is provided to the resource.

The disclosure is directed to providing content access control in information centric networking (ICN) networks. Methods and systems include hardware and/or software that perform operations for sending to a content provider of an ICN network an access request for content in response to receiving a first content request from a client. The operations also include receiving from the content provider access control information for the content. The operations further include sending to the client a challenge. Additionally, the operations include receiving from the client an authorization of the content provider that includes information obtained by the client from the content provider based on the challenge. Furthermore, the operations include verifying the authorization received from the client using the access control information received from the content provider. Moreover, the operations include sending to the client the content.

The disclosed technology teaches confirming delegation of authorization from an authorization server (AS) by a client to a service, including an AS issuing an OAuth2 access token in the form of a Macaroon (MAT), optionally with caveats, including a root signature, and providing the MAT to a client. Included is the client modifying the OA2 access token by appending caveats that narrow authorization, and by applying a message authentication code (MAC) chaining algorithm to generate an updated signature to include in the resulting MAT with caveats (MATwC), the client delegating authorization to a service by forwarding the MATwC to the service and the service using the MATwC to access a resource server (RS), the RS passing the MATwC to the AS, and the AS determining authenticity of the MATwC as a bearer token and evaluating scope of authorization from the MAT as narrowed by the caveats, and reporting results.
